Oppenheimer

Far and away my favorite Nolan film. I could go on and on about everything that makes this film amazing. So I will just list the few things that bugged me. First off, why does Nolan have to structure every film's narrative in a way that gives me a headache? I will say that the black and white, as a medium of representing the present, at least helped a little bit, but still. Secondly, Nolan can just go ahead and never try to make something sexy again. I mean, you have Cillian Murphy, one of the best actors of a generation, and even he can't make the situation seem natural. And if anyone thinks that's a reflection on Cillian Murphy's inability to act in those situations, I urge you to watch Peaky Blinders and get back with me on that one. Finally, the explosion was pretty disappointing. I love the scene itself, especially the way it's shot, but the explosion did not look accurate at all. I guess that's just the price you pay when refusing to use CGI.
